Pest managers looking to expand their skillset to include pre-construction work can take a one-day course with the termite experts from TERM-seal.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Pre-construction termite protection is a significant segment of the pest control market. Expanding into \u2018precon\u2019 work can grow your business and help maintain your revenue during the cooler winter months.<\/p>\n

But pre-construction work isn\u2019t without its challenges, and while it can be daunting for newcomers, comprehensive training and access to the right combination of products means qualified pest managers can tackle pre-construction work with confidence.<\/p>\n

Termseal Australia<\/a> provide \u2018on demand\u2019 accreditation courses to train pest managers as certified installers of their products. \u201cOur full day training course covers the full range of Termseal products, explaining how they work and how they can be applied to the construction types. But importantly, we also highlight the recommended product for each situation,\u201d explained Termseal technical manager, Barry<\/strong> Quon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Termseal training takes into account the latest updates in the various standards and is tailored by state, depending on regulations and construction types, Mr Quon said. \u201cQueensland and Western Australia get slightly different versions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Termseal view their training course as just the start in getting pest managers on board with their products and provide significant post training support. \u201cIt\u2019s important for our customers to know we are there for support. We\u2019re happy to come out for site visits, and we offer onsite phone and video conferencing to help solve customer problems whilst they\u2019re on the job,\u201d said Mr Quon.<\/p>\n

Brad Iranzadi<\/strong>, from Home Termite Control in Sydney (pictured above) attended his first Termseal training course a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe courses are full of information,\u201d Mr Iranzadi said. \u201cBarry was a pestie, so he knows about termites and how they get into buildings. With his construction knowledge, it really\u00a0helps explaining not just how, but why we need to apply the products where we do. I always go back and attend the Termseal courses when they\u2019re on, as I always learn something new and have the chance to ask some tricky questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the training was very comprehensive, it was certainly a bit daunting doing my first precon job. It was very comforting to have Barry on site to help. I used Barry a couple of times for on-site support whilst starting out,\u201d Mr Iranzadi said.<\/p>\n

With Termseal providing a range of Australian made pre-construction products, their training covers virtually all construction situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough attendees should have a basic idea of construction before attending the course, we do spend some time on slab design, as it\u2019s the most common construction type, which presents a range of different application situations,\u201d Mr Quon explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for our customers to understand how to use all our products, because when you are on site, you often have to solve unique problems. We always encourage our installers to \u2018think outside the square\u2019 to find the best solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Iranzadi echoed these sentiments. \u201cOne of the good things about Termseal is that there are lots of different products for different situations. It\u2019s the only product range I need to use, as I can solve any problem on site. This is important as it keeps the builder happy, and if you keep your builder happy, they keep using you, they don\u2019t bother looking for someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI started working for one builder who did work for a larger company. Now on his recommendation, I am getting work for other builders who contract for the same company. Termseal pricing allows me to deliver quality work at a competitive price. Although I only started in precon a couple of years ago, to my surprise, it\u2019s now 30% of my business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Termseal run six training sessions a year, however Mr Quon said they are also \u2018on demand\u2019, so pest managers should contact Termseal directly to register their interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
